Life-cycle customs and beliefs surrounding birth, marriage and death in rumeian village Maloyanisol of Ukraine
Summary:
The main objective of this Master’s thesis is a presentation of customs and popular beliefs, as components of ethnic identity, surrounding such events as birth, marriage and death in Ukrainian village Maloyanisol with Greek (so-called Rumeian) population. In local dialect the term “Rumeians” means the habitants of some villages in Eastern Ukraine that were founded at 1780 by the Greek settlers of Crimea (also part of Modern Ukraine). Ethnographic and folklore material for this study was collected during the fieldwork that formed the bases for drawing conclusions and was carried out in two stages: at 2010 and 2011. By this work we tried to present a coherent picture of the beliefs, practices, rituals and discourse, whereby the Rumeians organize their ethnic identity and retain their ethnic memory.
